Summer just got a whole lot steamier with the streaming debut of A24's rom-com Materialists . The film — 2025's highest-grossing romantic comedy so far — premiered in theaters last month and is already available to stream on digital platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV+.
Written and directed by Past Lives' Celine Song, Materialists follows professional matchmaker Lucy Mason (Dakota Johnson), who faces her own romantic dilemma: whether to explore a relationship with her ex, struggling actor John (Chris Evans), or with wealthy commodities broker Harry (Pedro Pascal).
'A young New York City matchmaker's lucrative business gets complicated as she finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex,' the official synopsis from A24 reads.

Materialists is distributed by A24 Films. Under a multi-year deal struck in December 2023, A24 agreed to bring its theatrical releases exclusively to Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming platform, HBO Max (formerly known as Max). When Will Materialists Be Streaming On HBO Max?

Materialists will likely arrive on Max within three to five months, or sometime between September and October 2025, though pinpointing an exact release date is difficult, as A24's streaming timelines on Max have varied over the past year.
For example, A24's Death of a Unicorn premiered in March and is set to debut on HBO Max on July 25, just under three months later. Nicole Kidman's Babygirl took exactly four months to hit the platform. Meanwhile, the award-winning The Brutalist had one of the longest waits at nearly five months, and 2024's Civil War followed a similarly lengthy timeline.

Alien: Earth is one of my five must-see TV shows in August
August is, famously, when the summer movie season starts to draw to a close. Thankfully, TV doesn't have those same lull periods, meaning that there's plenty to look forward to on the small screen in the month of August. I'm particularly excited about Alien: Earth, which will be the first TV show in the Alien franchise and also the first thing in this universe to be set on Earth. Alien: Earth is far from the only thing to be excited about in August, though. Here are five shows I'm particularly looking forward to watching. Chief of War (August 1) This Apple TV+ original is another partnership between Jason Momoa and the studio. This time, Momoa plays a Hawaiian war chief tasked with uniting the tribes of the disparate islands so that they can face off with the colonizers who are threatening their way of life. Recommended Videos The show's cast is composed almost entirely of native Hawaiian actors, and it could be a fascinating look at a part of America that many Americans don't spend much time thinking about. Hopefully, it's a little bit better than See. Chief of War will be available on Apple TV+. Wednesday season 2, Part 1 (August 6) Wednesday was a phenomenon following its first season, and this follow-up is will try to recapture that same enthusiasm. The show, a twist on The Addams Family, primarily follows their daughter, Wednesday, as she is shipped off to boarding school and must make her way through regular teenage life. The show made a star out of Jenna Ortega, and season 2 promises to be even bigger and more star-studded than the first installment. Whether that means it will be better is anyone's guess. Wednesday will be available on Netflix. Alien: Earth (August 12) One of the great mysteries this summer is Alien: Earth, which brings the xenomorph to Earth for the very first time. Plus, the Alien franchise makes its debut on television. While it seems impossible to live up to the best of what this franchise can offer, Alien: Earth will follow a young woman who joins up with a group of tactical soldiers to investigate the crash of a space vessel onto Earth. What they find (which is probably an alien) is left a mystery, but Alien: Earth could expand on the world of the Alien movies in fascinating ways, even if it's not quite as good as that first movie. Alien: Earth will be available on Hulu. Peacemaker season 2 (August 21) Following the success of Supermanin theaters, interest in the new DCU has never been higher. Peacemaker season 2 may reveal more about where this universe is headed, but just as importantly, it will hopefully be an excellent continuation of the show's remarkable first season. The brilliance of John Cena's central performance is worth plenty of praise, but James Gunn managed to find exactly the right supporting cast to put around him. Here's hoping the lore of the DCU doesn't overwhelm a character that's at his best when he's ignoring the rules altogether. Peacemaker will be available on HBO Max. Eyes of Wakanda (August 27) While the DCU might emerge as a real threat to Marvel's supremacy, Eyes of Wakanda could be proof that Marvel still has a few cards left to play. This animated series seems like it will be largely disconnected from the rest of the MCU, as it tells the story of Wakandan warriors who travel around the world to recover vibranium artifacts. The animation looks beautiful, and Ryan Coogler's involvement is a good sign that this show will be a reflection of the Wakanda we've fallen in love with on the big screen. Eyes of Wakanda will be available on Disney+.

Marvel's 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' opens to $118 million domestically
What superhero fatigue? Twice in one month, a comic book film has rocketed to the top of the box office, debuting with more than $100 million in ticket sales. Two weeks ago, it was "Superman," the first theatrical release from James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-heads of DC Studios at Warner Bros. Discovery. This weekend, Disney and Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" fueled an estimated $118 million in ticket sales during its first three days in theaters. "The lesson is that if you build great movies, audiences will head to the multiplex," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. Internationally, "Fantastic Four: First Steps" snared an estimated $100 million, bringing its global weekend haul to $218 million. "Marvel bet big releasing their long-awaited introduction of the Fantastic Four as the last MCU film to hit theaters for at least another year, and it's paying off," said Shawn Robbins, director of analytics at Fandango and founder of Box Office Theory. "The franchise has had its share of hiccups in recent years, but Marvel's First Family is winning over fans and spurring the kind of enthusiasm that could bring back casual viewers who sat out some post-'Endgame' chapters." Marvel has struggled in the wake of the record-breaking "Avengers: Endgame," the culmination of more than a decade of interconnected storytelling. While films like "Deadpool & Wolverine" and "Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3" enticed moviegoers to theaters, others like "Captain America: Brave New World," "The Marvels" and "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" failed to drum up the same enthusiasm. Box office hauls haven't been the only hit-or-miss for the studio. Marvel films have experienced significant fluctuations since the release of 2019's "Endgame." Previously, no MCU film had a Rotten Tomatoes score below 67%, meaning each had earned the title of "Fresh," indicating that critics had a generally positive view of the film. Since then, five films from the franchise have been below that metric and three of those were considered "Rotten," earning less than 50% positive reviews. This year, "Captain America: Brave New World" tallied $413 million globally and earned a 48% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But "Thunderbolts*" generated just $382 million globally — one of only five titles under the Marvel Cinematic Universe banner to tally less than $400 million worldwide — it secured an 88% "Fresh" rating. Its newest theatrical entry, "Fantastic Four: First Steps," also has an 88% "Fresh" rating from the site. "For Disney, this has truly been a magical summer and for Marvel a reaffirmation that their strategy to revamp the brand is certainly working," Dergarabedian said. "With 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' following in the footsteps of 'Thunderbolts*' Marvel is showing that a focus on quality rather than quantity is a recipe for success."

'We're not in Richmond anymore': What we know about 'Ted Lasso' Season 4
Believe it — Season 4 of Ted Lasso has officially begun production, Apple TV+ announced this week. That's right, Coach Lasso, the show's beloved mustachioed and mild-mannered namesake, who helped guide audiences through a global pandemic with optimism and humanity, is back on the football pitch. Well, this calls for biscuits. Filming has officially kicked off in star Jason Sudeikis's (Ted Lasso) hometown of Kansas City, Mo. Mayor Quinton Lucas called it 'another major victory for the city's rapidly expanding film industry,' in a post on X, in which he appears to be sporting a blue Ted Lasso hat. Additional filming is also set to take place across the pond in London. Apple TV posted a video on Instagram of Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins), Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Juno Temple (Keeley Jones) and Sudeikis are sitting in what appears to be a booth at a traditional American restaurant as some of the key members of AFC Richmond get ready to film a scene. The caption reads: 'We're not in Richmond anymore. Ted Lasso Season 4 is now in production.' The streaming service confirmed back in March that there would be a fourth season. The show has won 13 Emmy Awards and has received a total of 61 Emmy nominations. Barbecue sauce. What can fans expect in Season 4? At the end of Season 3, Ted ends up returning to the U.S. after coaching the fictional AFC Richmond soccer team in London in order to be closer to his son, Henry. The streaming service indicates on its website what fans can expect in the highly anticipated new season: 'Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women's football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.' Do we know when Season 4 will be released or if there's an official trailer? So far, Apple TV+ says a release date for Season 4 is coming soon. No official trailer has been released yet, aside from this week's teaser. Which characters will return? Even though they're not pictured in the promo image, the wise Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) and Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) will be back. Grant Feely will replace Gus Turner as Ted's son, Henry. Other newcomers to join the cast in roles that have yet to be revealed include: Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey and Abbie Hern. Who is not returning? Fan favorites like Nick Mohammed (Nate Shelley) and Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt) along with Sarah Niles (Dr. Sharon Fieldstone), Anthony Head (Rupert Mannion), Toheeb Jimoh (Sam Obisanya), James Lance (Trent Crimm), Cristo Fernández (Dani Rojas), Kola Bokinni (Isaac McAdoo) and Billy Harris (Colin Hughes) weren't named as regular returning characters in Season 4.
